Field Notes
Description:
V. squamosa is typically about half an inch long and distinguishable by its black body and yellow striping pattern over its entire body. This species has clear wings and a hairless body.[5] While the males and workers resemble other yellowjackets, the queen has a unique appearance. She is significantly larger than the males and workers and is more orange in color.[1] In addition, both V. squamosa and the V. sulphurea have two stripes on their scuta, which differentiates them from other species.-Wikipedia.
Habitat:
Spotted on garden flowers in an urban area.
